On face value it seemed we could all enjoy our Thanksgiving last week and not worry about the Senate’s actions or the wonderfully named bill up for deliberation, S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act. After all, it was “bipartisan” and full of conservative support.

Titles seem to be the opposite of the content; deception seems to be the name of the game in modern-day politics and media. For example, as you will see in the video, “If ‘Con’ is the opposite of ‘Pro,’ is Congress the opposite of progress?” Is this the kind of progress we want in America?
